2012 Honda CR-V 2.2L Diesel · YY62 XKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 November 2025 at 99 034 miles. The test recorded several advisories: nearside and offside front tyres worn to the legal limit, front brake pads thin, rear registration plate deteriorated, offside rear tyre tread at 3 mm, and corrosion on the rear sub‑frame and front lower suspension arms. After a failure in late 2024 that highlighted a loose battery and similar wear items, the subsequent pass shows those critical issues were rectified, leaving the car in a stable but wear‑prone condition. Mileage accumulation follows a steady pattern for a 14‑year‑old Honda CR‑V, averaging roughly 7 074 miles per year. The last three MOTs show a progressive increase: 85 139 miles in November 2023, 93 000 miles in November 2024 (≈7.9 k miles in a year), and 99 034 miles in November 2025 (≈6 k miles). The most recent test is only eight months old, satisfying the DVSA’s recency requirement and providing a reliable snapshot of the car’s current state. A buyer should inspect the front brake pads and discs for excessive wear, check the inner shoulders of the front tyres for near‑limit wear, verify the rear offside tyre tread depth, examine the rear registration plate for deterioration, assess corrosion on the rear sub‑frame and front lower suspension arms, and ensure the battery is securely mounted in its carrier. These areas are the recurring fault points in the history and represent the most likely future consumables to require attention. Overall, the MOT record indicates a mechanically sound vehicle with expected age‑related wear. The recent pass confirms no critical defects remain, but the advisories point to consumables that will likely need replacement soon. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the brake system, tyre condition, and corrosion sites will give a buyer confidence in the car’s true roadworthiness.
